What is recorded here
Close to S shore of Ballindooly Lough. An oblong platform (N-S 16m, E-W 11m) which was mantled in meadowsweet, notably dry underfoot, and c. 0.6m proud of the water level at time of visit. Appears to be artificial and may well be a crannog. The prominent tree-covered island on SW fringes of the lake is completely natural.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. I - West Galway'. Compiled by Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993).
